Ascom's have launched a new communication system which combines Voice-over-IP (VoIP) technology, wireless-enabled local area networks and their own VoIP handsets which should provide companies with complete staff mobility at a low cost.
The system is based on the IEEE 802.11(b)/g standard and offers an integrated personal alarm function, alert messaging, paging and voice telephony with access to a range of communications services. It integrates with existing voice and data networks and can interconnect with public networks.
At the heart of the system is the i75 handset. It offers a compact, robust and easy to use design - which will suit tough working environments.
The i75 handset not only provides voice telephony, it also offers text messaging and can interact with other internal business systems to deliver automated reminders and alerts. An in-built alarm system, represented by a thumb-sized button on the handset means that should it be necessary, users can summon assistance very easily. The handset also has a built-in loudspeaker for hands-free calls.
Thanks to a virtual SIM, if a handset is lost, its functions can be quickly transferred to a replacement unit as all the user settings including menu, local phonebook and alarm features are stored on a central server.
A choice of batteries offers from four hours talking and 40 hours stand-by to six hours talking to 60 hours on stand-by.
